over the last several months, we have been implementing a protocol to eliminate karybelle the sheltie’s barking surrounding her mealtimes. we have accomplished this by initially introducing an alternate activity during prep time (stuffed kong) and religiously giving her a time out gated in the yard if she stops that activity to bark, thus delaying her dinner until she’s quiet. this has been extremely successful; she’s gone from barking literally 100+ times during meal prep to barking 0 times, and only occasionally slips up. the behavior she has chosen to replace her meal-prep-screaming (after all, that energy has to go somewhere) is frantically - but silently - running circles around the coffee table to finally slam into a perfect down-stay as her bowl is set down.
this evening as the food was coming out, karybelle seamlessly slipped into her silent circling routine. except after a couple of reps, she abruptly changed course, yeeted herself out the dog door, barked once, and immediately jumped back in to resume her circling.
if that isn’t a demonstration of crystal clear understanding of criteria, i…don’t know what is lmao
How the fuck has this site become so bearable. This place was a shit show a few years ago but now it’s actually good and not full of instant discourse the way Facebook and Twitter are
do y’all think Aizawa is ever on his day off, wearing a normal ass scarf with his civilian clothing, and after running into a Situation, forgets he’s not wearing his uniform. so he goes to throw out his capture weapon, only for the scarf to fall limply to the ground with the villain of the day laughing in his face? the use of his gear is instinctual at this point, I imagine if there’s a weight around his neck he will yeet it at the first sign of danger.
